Your assumption seems to be that the fruits of automation, owned by the few, will somehow be shared by the many. Perhaps they will be, and we'll live in the Star Trek utopia. But I think more dystopian outcomes (extreme wealth inequality sustained through violent repression; revolution and war) to be more likely.
If the court decides Uber isn't a taxi company, then I hope it decides the drivers are, and are subject to the same licensing requirements as other taxi companies.
"4) In the far majority of cases, Real AI's goals will NOT be to take over the world, kill all humans, anymore than it would be to have sex with humans (male or female.), In fact, those might be considered traits of an insane AI."
Why do you assume AI will be so radically different to us in this regard?
As far as I can tell, humanity's goal has always been to take over the world and kill anything that even vaguely gets in the way, or is tasty.
Perhaps "real AI" will be a single AI, and thus different to humanity.
Clearly what we need is a blockchain DNS! (I don't know what blockchain is, but I know it solves all problems. I think you get it from a hardware store, but I couldn't say whether it's in the blocks or chains aisle.)
A former colleague of mine left to a startup which some years later was absorbed by Google. The work she does at Google involves access to multiple Google databases (to detect fraudulent access patterns), which is apparently unusual. I asked her about the DNS database; she said that is the one database to which she (and most other projects at Google) doesn't have access. I took from this that Google does track DNS access.
I can't comment on the other technologies, but Angular has transformed how I build the interactive parts of web pages.
When you first approach Angular it seems like an over-engineered, incomprehensible edifice, and the tutorial throws you straight into writing your whole website as a single-page application. But once your realise that you can use a small lump of it on a single page to bind some UI elements to javascript state objects, you find yourself using it all the time even for small things. For me at least, it's as much a revelation as jquery was.
If I were a poacher, and the premium for "real" horn was sufficient for me to keep poaching, I'd start delivering the head with the horn. Not sure we'll see printed heads in my lifetime.

I'd assume Apple still owns the trademark for NeXT, so I expect they'll rename it if it gets any traction.
Maybe NextBSD or nxBSD or something wouldn't fall foul of the trademark?
I think you meant comfort-the-anemone? (I'm not sure they're big Bradbury fans, books don't fare well in their high humidity climate.)
Darn it!

You have it the wrong way around, my friend. 'Tis not I but rather Cthulhu, dead in his house at R'lyeh, who waits dreaming.
Ia!
I think you mean hCTTis
It's indy media that says, "yet another cop shot an innocent fucking black man in the head," not establishment.
Yikes, now it's a crime to be fucking while black?
In related news, Oracle have also announced a new per-transistor licensing model.
You're in luck! The Mozilla Foundation have just announced their building slashdot into the core source of their browser.
"Revealed in a filling"?
I guess Google wasn't exaggerating when they said getting disclosure from the MPAA was like pulling teeth...
The BBC is not funded or owned by the government.
I too am remaining cautious, waiting till they find the other one Noah saved before declaring the mystery solved.

"I'm not sure what would count as the killer app for the PC"
Spreadsheets. (Lotus Notes, Excel etc).
As far as word processing is concerned, in my time something called WordPerfect was the market leader.

What's a tumbler? A tumble dryer? (I'll admit I often lose coins there.)

If you're using gmail, and you receive an encrypted email, how do you read it without Google seeing the decrypted message?
Because only we can work out how Android fragmentation is the cause.
41 billion is enough to buy what, 4.1 million second hand cars? I'd guess that's >1 car per Uber customer.
